Tovin was pretty cooperative this morning, but he was so hungry! We went out to eat last night, but he didn't want to eat very much! I think when my sizzling fajita plate came to the table he was a little afraid of it, so he wasn't interested in his hotdog and rice - I guess I wouldn't be either - hotdog and rice!? We felt so bad for him as he was constantly pointing to his mouth and we weren't able to do anything to ease his hunger. Notice the sad face on our little guy - breaks my heart!
After Tovin was scrubbed down the anaesthetist and surgeon came in to talk with us. They discussed what was going to happen today and also what we should expect when Tovin gets out of surgery. They stated that his surgery should be about 3 hours, but we most likely won't see him until 3:00 this afternoon. We will be notified every step of the way!
At about 7:45 this morning he was given a relaxer - the same one he was given when he had his heart catheterization. Tovin becomes silly from this medicine, it makes him full of giggles and very unstable. The nurse had an African animal channel on for Tovin to watch, a lion was on the TV; Tovin lifted up his arms and roared like a lion very loud and then just looked at us and giggled. The team came to take him back to the surgery room, we said our goodbye and watched him be carried through the doors.
One of the nurses came to let us know that Tovin was doing well and is making fast friends with them. He's letting them know who is boss by saying "hey - hey" kind of like leave me along - to them while they were working on him.
We will continue to post updates...I have some dance pictures from this weekend to share as well!
We just were informed that Tovin is doing well! They started the procedure at 9:50 this morning! Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes!
Thoughts and prayers!
